Dr. Cirangle
I wanted to thank you for helping me get my life back, you not only did a fantastic job with the surgery you help me every step of the way. You made sure I understood it was my responsibility to track my food and fluid intake and your Office staff did a great job supporting me along the way.
On the day of the surgery the Nurse that was preparing me with the IV stated that your orders were she only gets one attempt at installing the needle and if she failed she is to send me up to surgery without it, from that moment on I knew you cared about the care that I was to receive and wanted only the best for me. Other indications that only the best would do was the fact that you had the second bed removed from my room and had furniture brought in so that my friends and family would be comfortable when they came to visit.
My recovery after the surgery was unbelievable, although you provided me pain medication I did not find it necessary to use any, I was not in any pain. Third day post-surgery I was walking to the Bay. Two weeks later I joined the gym and started swimming, 4 weeks post-surgery I started lifting light weights and working out on the elliptical. 85 days post-surgery I look forward to going to the Gym every day. Although I am taking it very slow at the Gym, it is helping me to feel great.
Now the best news of all, not only have I lost 85LBS since Dec 1st I am off all Diabetic Medications and my morning blood sugar is 85 to 95. I no longer have sleep apnea and I am no longer taking Motrin for back pain.
The other day I put on a Navy shirt that was issued to me 39 years ago and I never in my wildest dreams thought that would happen! Having this surgery was the best decision I could have made and having you perform it was the next best decision. Thank you Dr. Cirangle and thanks to your staff I am doing and feeling fantastic!
